Merchant's description

Indaba's Braai Cabernet is exactly what it says on the label: a wine built for fire, smoke, and good company in the Western Cape. The name references South Africa's beloved braai culture, and the wine earns it: ripe blackcurrant and plum up front, a gentle curl of smoke and mocha in the middle, and soft tannins that won't fight your lamb chops or smoky ribs for attention. It's generous and easy-going, with just enough savoury grip to keep things honest. This is a 2023, and we'd drink it now without a moment's hesitation. Pop it, pour it, and get the coals going.
